From Wikipedia: 'The Church of St Bartholomew is the parish church of the town of Orford, England. A medieval church, dating from the fourteenth century, with reconstructions in the nineteenth and twentieth century, it is a Grade I listed building. In addition to its listing, the church is notable as the location for the first performances of four of the works of the composer Benjamin Britten: Noye's Fludde, Curlew River, The Burning Fiery Furnace and The Prodigal Son. The church comprises a ruined 12th century chancel, begun in about 1166 and abandoned in the 18th century, the Decorated nave and aisles, restored in the late 19th century, and the tower, restored in the late 20th century after the collapse of its upper storey in 1830. The chancel to the original church was built at about the same time as Orford Castle, and demonstrates a similar "grandeur". By the eighteenth century, the chancel was completely ruined and reconstruction concentrated on the nave and the tower. In the early 1880s George Edmund Street prepared a plan for a comprehensive restoration of the whole complex but this was not undertaken. Instead, rebuilding work spanned almost a hundred years, with J T Micklethwaite undertaking the reconstruction of the nave and aisles between 1894 and 1900, H M Cautley repairing the chancel in 1930, and Bruce George restoring the tower in 1971–72.

With commanding views over Orford Ness, the castle stands 27m (90ft) tall and looks remarkably similar to when it was built over 700 years ago. The materials used to build the castle were brought from far and wide with some timbers coming from Scarborough and limestone from Caen in France. Legend has it the 'Wild Man of Orford' was held in the castle in the 12th century. Described as a merman he was captured by fisherman but eventually escaped.

Alas despite looking there's no standpipe

A nice rest stop with trees for shelter and a covered seating area on the joining play area for when you need shelter from the worst of the weather

Part of the back route from Woodbridge to Rendlesham Forest if you want to avoid traffic.

Watch out for heaped sands by the sides and down the middle of many of the roads in the area, it can get quite deep and tricky on skinny road tyres.

Great view across the estuary of the Alde/Ore to Orford Ness, now a nature reserve but formerly an MOD atomic weapons research centre, with the silhouettes of the ‘pagoda’ weapons test structures on the horizon.

Due to conservation works Orford Castle is currently (August 2022) enshrouded in scaffolding. The unique polygonal tower keep of Orford Castle stands beside the pretty town and former port, developed by Henry II. The castle is remarkably intact allowing visitors to explore from the basement, through the lower and upper halls to the roof where there are magnificent views seaward to Orford Ness.

Magnificent and well preserved medieval keep which dominates the village and surrounding coast.

Delicious breads, cakes, and savouries. There are tables to sit in if it’s cold or wet but if you sit on the benches outside you get take-out prices.

Scenic back lane between Butley and Chillesford past the old mill. The road is very narrow with lots of sand on it so go carefully on road tyres.
